On the first day of the operation the wreck will be partially refloated by 2 metres from the platfoms that support it and will be moved approximately 30 metres to the east. The wreck will then be kept in position by tugs and moored by anchors aft, with steel cables. The refloating operation is expected to take up to a week before being towed to the port of Genoa for dismantling. (Photo by Laura Lezza/Getty Images)
